Wait for appointment

Wait for appointment

I'm un the UK under the NHS and cannot afford to see a doctor privately.  I am on holiday for 10 days from tomorrow.

At the end of September my GP sent a letter referring me back to the cardiologist because of a recurrence of chest pains, fitting a typically anginal description and relieved by GTN.  Since then I have had one really bad attack.  The others have been fairly minor, precipitated by exertion or stress, but I did have two on Tuesday evening when I was merely at my computer - albeit after a hard day.

Does this seem a long wait to you?

My plans are:
    If I get a bad episode or increasing rest attacks I will go to A & E
    When I see my GP on the 26th, I will ask if she can get it brought forward
